Yes, clicking Accept shows the message.

The problem is this message implies the CA is known but the certificate is bad,
which appears not to be the case.

A cautious user would not and should not click "Accept".

Why Sun chose to use https links for non-sensitive images in its newsletter is
another question, but this problem will still present itself for any other
(potentially sensitive) message using this CA.

If there are certificates missing that are widely believed to be trustworthy,
they should be added.  

If I am getting this dialog for another reason, that is another bug to be
investigated.
